Directions to Museo Soumaya (Plaza Loreto)
As part of Carlos Slim's Foundation, Soumaya Museum opened its doors in 1994. It is a cultural institution that has the main goal of collecting, researching, preserving, spreading and exhibiting the artistic heritage of Mexico and Europe. It aims at promoting cultural knowledge through many activities: permanent and temporary exhibitions, catalogues and publications, conferences, film festivals, among others.
This museum is placed in a former property of Hernan Cortez, the Spanish conqueror of Mexico. Later on, during the colonial period it was a mill and then it happened to be the most important paper industry of Latin America: Loreto and Peña Pobre, which was transformed in the 1990s into shopping and cultural centers.
